I am a firm believer in the abundance of ideas and the need to get them out there, get them writen down or give them away as fast as possible. Sitting on an idea just gets in the way of new ones. I am convinced that being generous and giving them away 'accelerates' new ones coming along! Robert Rath - http://www.innovation-mentor.com Hi Steve,
